Definitions

  • the present invention relates to encoding and decoding a video.
  • a need for a video codec for effectively encoding or decoding the high resolution or high quality video content is increasing.
  • a video codec is encoded according to a limited encoding method based on a macroblock having a predetermined size.
  • a prediction encoding method based on a macroblock may generate a blocking effect due to discontinuous pixel values at boundaries of blocks. Accordingly, in a video codec, deblocking filtering is performed to improve video compressibility and quality of a restored image.
  • the present invention provides a method of performing deblocking filtering in a video codec by using a coding unit overcoming limits of a conventional macroblock-based encoding method and having a new tree structure.
  • the present invention provides a method and apparatus for performing deblocking filtering, which reduce a deblocking effect generated in a boundary region of coding units in a video encoded based on a tree-structured coding unit.
  • quality of a compressed and restored video may be remarkably improved by removing a deblocking effect from the compressed and restored video based on a tree-structured coding unit.
  • a method of encoding a video which performs deblocking filtering based on coding units, the method including: splitting one picture into at least one maximum coding unit that is a data unit having a maximum size; determining coding units that are hierarchically configured according to depths indicating a number of times the at least one maximum coding unit is spatially spilt, and prediction units and transformation units respectively for prediction and transformation of the coding units; determining a filtering boundary on which deblocking filtering is to be performed based on at least one data unit from among the coding units, prediction units, and the transformation units; determining filtering strength at the filtering boundary based on a prediction mode of a coding unit to which adjacent pixels belong based on the filtering boundary, and transformation coefficient values of pixels adjacent to the filtering boundary; and performing deblocking filtering based on the determined filtering strength.
  • the determining of the filtering boundary comprises determining the filtering boundary based on a boundary of data units having a predetermined size or above from among the coding units, the prediction units, and the transformation units.
  • the determining of the filtering strength comprises determining the filtering strength based on whether the prediction mode of the coding unit to which the adjacent pixels belong based on the filtering boundary is an intra mode or an inter mode, whether the transformation coefficient values of the pixels adjacent to the filtering boundary are 0, and when the prediction mode is an inter mode, a reference frame and a motion vector used for motion prediction of a prediction unit to which the adjacent pixels belong.
  • the performing of the deblocking filtering comprises determining whether to perform the deblocking filtering on the filtering boundary based on the filtering strength and a result of comparing a predetermined threshold value and a difference between absolute values of pixel values of a predetermined number of adjacent pixels based on the filtering boundary.
  • the determining whether to perform the deblocking filtering comprises determining to perform the deblocking filtering only when an absolute value of a difference between pixel values of pixels that are adjacent to the filtering boundary and are divided based on the filtering boundary and an absolute value of a difference between pixel values of adjacent pixels on the same side based on the filtering boundary are smaller than a predetermined threshold value determined according to a quantization parameter in a transformation unit to which the pixels belong, and the filtering strength is not the weakest filtering strength.
  • the performing of the deblocking filtering comprises: determining a number and filter tap coefficients of pixels that are adjacent to the filtering boundary and are filtered, based on the filtering strength, an absolute value of a difference between pixel values of pixels that are adjacent to the filtering boundary and divided based on the filtering boundary, and an absolute value of a difference betw4een pixel values of adjacent pixels on the same side based on the filtering boundary; and changing pixel values of the pixels that are filtered via a weighted sum based on the filter tap coefficients.
  • a method of decoding a video which performs deblocking filtering based on coding units, the method including: extracting image data encoded according to coding units, encoding mode information about coding units according to a tree structure, and information about deblocking filtering in a maximum coding unit, according to the coding units according to the tree structure included in each maximum coding unit obtained by splitting a current picture, by parsing a received bitstream; determining prediction units and transformation units for prediction and transformation according to the coding units and decoding the encoded image data, based on the encoding mode information about the coding units according to the tree structure; determining a filtering boundary to which deblocking filtering is to be performed from among boundaries of at least one data unit from among the coding units according to the tree structure, the prediction units, and the transformation units, by using the information about the deblocking filtering; determining filtering strength of the filtering boundary based on a prediction mode of a coding unit to which adjacent pixels
